Recording a Pleasing Voicemail Greeting in a Short Amount of Time

You might be in the market for a new voicemail greeting, but are not into the many, many minutes that it might take to get yours just-so. Before jumping into the rabbit hole of your phone’s voicemail system, getting mired in take after take, hitting delete and record, then delete and record, here are some tips to shorten the process and get to a really pleasing message in the shortest time possible:

Write out the message, saying it out loud as you do

Keep it simple, cordial and un-cutesy

If you’re stuck, here is a sample script: Hello, this is Nancy Jones. Please leave a message and I’ll return your call as soon as possible. Thank you.

Think nice thoughts and smile while you record — pretend you are speaking with a friend
